There's a few guys that will grab G5 offers. Howard- who I believe is a P5 back -:chose an FCS. Harper "may" earn a G5 spot, but getting plenty of FCS offers.
That isn't much different from recruiting BTP, Before Transfer Portal. There were kids that would commit early to save a spot and then flipped when a better offer became available. Still going to have that even with the portal.
Going to be tough to get a decent transfer with Tuck getting 90%+ of the RB touches and a run first QB. Allen will now see snaps as a true freshman and might see a late recruit or PWO.
Come on... I don't agree with this logic at all. In general societies increased sense of entitlement is getting out of hand in my opinion. I'm not against the players getting more rights than what has been in the past but the current set up is not good at all for the sport of college football and actually in quite a few cases, the knee jerk decisions don't seem like its a good decision for the players either. Often the grass isn't greener. Any kid going to college typically plans to stay for 4 years. Heck going to one school and getting to know people for 4 years and building lasting relationships was the best 4 years of my life. And the differences between the old set-up and new have nothing to do with being amateurs or professionals. Yes you and I had the opportunity to leave the school of choice and head to another one, so did college athletes. And non-athletes do it while needing to pay to go to school. These kids are getting money to be there and also have the NIAL so they can potentially make additional money. I'll certainly admit they have added responsibilities as well though. In the previous set-up its not like we were forcing student athletes to stay at schools differently than normal students. They could still choose to leave the university and go elsewhere. You just need to sit out a year of playing the sport. And it that season you lift and get better in other ways in your time off.
He has talent but won't have any experience with the blocking assignments, the offense, etc. Tucker's going to get the lion's share of snaps, and we have JH there who's been in the program for a year (and will be a beast). But with one experienced guy, a RS and a frosh at RB, we're looking a little thin at what used to be a position of depth.
Outside of Taj (other issues, clearly), losing an experienced and speedy guy like Benson was the biggest hit. It'll be well nigh impossible to land someone from the portal who is 6'4 240 and can run a 10.7. Pity he left before finding out if the new OC would resuscitate the TE position in the offense.
For sure. He had a couple drops this year .. which didn't help his cause with so few targets. But for a variety of reasons (some of which were on the OC), his on-field performance never caught up to his measureables.
